An interesting flash animation

[TerranRich]

I urge all American AGSers (and even those who are not but still might give a shit) to view the following 680-KB flash animation:

it's a very interesting read view on "How Bush Stole Florida".

I am glad I live in the free world. Where we have a lego-man as Head of State.

 

[Peter Thomas]

That's scary.

Thank goodness Australia is a wholesome, moral country...

[Domino]

That is the scariest movie i have ever seen.

Now, i'm going to have to sleep with the lights on.

edit: By scary, i meant the many faces of Katherine Harris. How disturbing

D-o-N  

[Darth Mandarb]

Come on guys!!

This is just more garbage which is, more than likely, "95%" inaccurate itself.

One word : Propoganda
Two words: Dumb Public

I'm not saying that some of that stuff isn't true (I'm sure some of it is).

I'm not sticking up for anybody.

It's just somebody who doesn't like somebody else spinning a tale to make that person look bad.

Same old politics.

Same old whining ...

Ok, so have her change the law so she can be impeached and then replace her with someone who will change the law back again anyway? Might as well start up the prohabition again...

[Peter Thomas]

I agree with darth; it's probably made out to be a whole lot more dramatic than it really is, but at the same time it's pretty serious.

These guys are running a country, for crying out loud. We can't just give 'em slack because 'all politicians are the same'. We need to KICK THEM UP THE ARSE because they're the same...

Sure, it's the same old politics, but that doesn't make the facts any less disturbing (whatever the REAL facts are...)

[TerranRich]

Well, regardless of what you guys say, there is ONE THING that is definitely true...


The music they used in that flash animation rocks!


Seriously, though, did anyone view http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=29&row=1 at all?


EDIT:

Also, take a look at  http://wastelandofthefree.com/SlowlyUnfolding.cfm  for a great list of reasons why Bush is SUCH a great president  : OR, you can view the list below...

The Record of the Bush Administration Slowly Unfolds

   * I am the first president in decades to execute a federal prisoner.
   * In my first year in office I set the all-time record for most days on vacation by any president in US history (tough to beat my dad's, but I did).

   * I dissolved more international treaties than any president in US history.
   * I've made my presidency the most secretive and unaccountable of any in US history.
   * Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history. (The poorest multimillionaire, Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.)
   * I am the first president in US history to have all 50 states of the Union simultaneously struggle against bankruptcy.
   * I presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud in any market in any country in the history of the world.

   * I am the first US president to establish a secret shadow government.
   * I took the world's sympathy for the US after 9/11, and in less than a year made the US the most resented country in the world (possibly the biggest diplomatic failure in US and world history).
   * I am the first US president in history to have a majority of the people of Europe (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and stability.
   * I changed US policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.

I am glad I live in the free world. Where we have a lego-man as Head of State.

 

LOL
Holy shit that's funny!


BUSH FLASH:
Man, that is scary.


--Snake

[Bob The Hun]

I'm not standing up for Bush. I'm not too happy with him either. But still, he won the election. Equally convincing, and actually factual:

Counties won by Gore: 677
Counties won by Bush: 2,434
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Population of counties won by Gore: 127 million
Population of counties won by Bush: 143 million
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Square miles of country won by Gore:  580,000
Square miles of country won by Bush: 2,427,000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
States won by Gore: 21
States won by Bush:  29

And this movie's "well the republicans were in charge of the polls, they rigged it, it was all a big conspiracy!" take on things is probably better suited for the tinfoil-hat wearing crowd.

[foz]

Micheal moores book stupid white men talks all about this..

This sort of thing goes on in a daily basis all over the world......

You think its bad to have MR bush in charge....we have tony blair(bush`s lap dog..)

So inadvertantly we have bush as well...

[Flippy_D]

Stupid White Men's chapter on the elections is well worth the read. The whole book is well worth a read, as a matter of fact.

[Robert Eric]

I'd like to say that Bush is not as dumb as everyone thinks he is.  I still don't like him, though.

[TerranRich]

Okay, I will admit, the flash movie was very hollywood-esque in its overt drama.

But I thought the U.S.'s electoral college was state-based? I don't know enough about how Presidents are elected, and I LIVE here!

Either way, that laundry list is still very intriguing...and truthful. Can anyone dispute those facts?
